I live next door to a grocery store that I don’t really like. So, I combined a trip to a better grocery with a walk. Passing over Four Mile Run, it is looking remarkably litter free. But no signs of the coming of autumn here.
No, the impending arrival of autumn is heralded by “Pumpkin Spice”. For no apparent reason, people in the US will eat “pumpkin spice” anything between early September and mid-November. I also saw “Pumpkin Spice English Muffins” today. But, Pumpkin Spice Special K was my first pumpkin spice sighting of the year.
This week, only six weeks after my war on crappy food began, we have new improved menus. With more choices. It might have happened without my carefully planned assault. But, I was delighted to watch a friend dive into blueberry pancakes at breakfast. And, I am looking forward to a bowl of chili and a cold one for dinner tonight.
